Actually, I pictured you as looking younger than your age, being small in stature and quite petite. Very cute, too. Maybe a little cuddly, like the kitty. No fur, though. Funny you should say that! People routinely tell me I look younger than I am (I just turned 59 last week and most people when they look at me guess mid to late 40's). But as to the rest: I'm 5'8+, 160, big-boned and generally clumsy - there is nothing petite or delicate or cuddly about me . I was the biggest kid (not girl: kid, even the boys were shorter) in my grade school class until the second semester of 8th grade when one of the boys FINALLY got taller than me. I look very "American" but come from an immigrant family (Americans never question my background but my Italian relatives tell me I look like a European woman, whoever that is!). But I'm really good at cuddling kittens and keeping orphaned babies alive by bottlefeeding . And yeah, no fur on me . . .
And as long as people are offering field trips - I live one mile from the Pacific Ocean, gang! When are ya'll coming to visit me and ride bikes on the Venice Beach boardwalk and gawk and the colorful people of CA?! Sorry, these two statements can not be mutually exclusive. You have cats = you have fur on you. No matter how many times you brush it off, there is always more (she says as she pulls a black wisker out of her sweater)...

I was re-furring to the fact that there is no fur growing out of me . . . at least last time I checked. LOL.

I have been reading these threads for a while now, don't post often, and the visuals I have in my head for most would probably be way off. I enjoy reading all of the responses! I guess with my screen name, most would not be able to correctly visualize me either .

What photo sharing thread? I was probably banned then... I believe Doxie started the thread originally, so it was probably deleted. Is she gone now? Seemed like she was around a lot for a while there. Her threads seem to take off like wildfire. Just wondering if she left or was banned.

With the exception of Jake, no one has guessed what I look like. So here is a picture of me:

I've seen a few pics, so I can't play/guess on some either.
I usually use visualize a person by the way they communicate. I can pretty much tell who's in their 20's/30's, and who might be older. Some here have actually revealed their age, so I already have a general idea how they might look.
My avatars are generally abstract, or seasonal - I don't know that you would be able to guess my age or appearance.

I was looking for a group of older fat women. I searched that and it wasn't such a good idea. Google needs to filter those images WAY better..... OMG But, I did see this and am still laughing:

Why do any of us have to guess at anything? The photos from the NMSNM 2012 meetup are all still on the Facebook page. Pictured (left to right): Beer, Swamp, Nancy, (SL in the Background, Moderating) Pictured: POM trying to turn on the TV with a Wii remote (left); Archie trying to make POM less fuzzy, also with a Wii remote (right); (SL again in the background, moderating) Pictured: Rob (back left), Ken's grandson (back right), CL (front left), POM (front right); (SL was taking the photo in this one) Incidentally, CL took a photo of that cake and used it as her avatar. Nifty. When I saw the photos, the first thing that popped into my mind was "What a fun-loving group of people!"

@lillylake: I resized both the images down to something reasonable for you. You can resize them yourself as follows: In the Visual mode of the editor, click on the image you want to resize. You'll see eight small boxes appear at eight compass points (the four corners of the image, and four midpoints of the N, E, S, and W edges). You can drag any of these boxes to resize the image. The easiest one is usually the bottom right hand corner, which you should drag up and to the left to shrink the image. On most browsers, an outline will appear while you drag to show you the new dimensions of the image when you let go. Sometimes if the image is extremely large, you'll need to shrink it, scroll the page, shrink it some more, etc. You'll know your cursor is on one of the resizing boxes because your cursor will change into a set of arrows. Typically an image should be no wider than 600 pixels and no higher than 800. Of course these aren't hard limits, and there are appropriate exceptions. These are just general guidelines. One other important note is that Proboards automatically limits the width of an image to the width of the page (or the editor, while editing a post). Suppose you're working on a smaller screen with only 600 pixels' width available in your editor, and you insert a 1800x3000 massive image. The image will be shrunk to fit, and is shrunk proportionally in both dimensions so that the new size is 600x1000 pixels, which looks quite reasonable to you. However, be mindful that if you don't explicitly use the handles to resize the image yourself, the image will still have dimensions of 1800 by 3000, and so anybody viewing it on a high-resolution monitor (such as myself), will still see it as 1800 pixels wide--not such a big problem--but also 3000 pixels tall, which is a problem because it takes up more than two full monitors of scrolling to get by it.

OMG this thread is hilarious!!! I am really bad at imagining what peeps look like. I have now met several posters IRL from my board (including Moonie) and of course was totally wrong about how I thought they looked.
